What is the first thing you think of when you think of the Republican Party? Conservative, fiscally tight, family values, gay? Yes you heard me right, gay.

What started this recent string of blogs were questions I had about politics; unanswered questions. The big question that really got me searching was 'Does the Republican Party really represent Biblical values, or is it just a sham to sucker us Christians into voting for them?' I am not bugged by the fact that there are gays in the Republican Party. However I am quite bugged that the Republicans have not been completely 'straight' with the public about this issue. I am even more bugged at Christians who are staunchly supporting the Republican Party without question. I guess this whole hypocrisy of the Republicans portraying themselves as more righteous than Democrats bugs me. Those 2 parties act so much alike it seems! Yes I know there are differences but the point of this blog was to point out the similarities of the 2 parties that most are not aware of.
I got no clear number as to how many gays are in the Republican party, but put Log Cabin Republicans in your search engine and see what you come up with.
By the way speaking of being suckered in: Originally I was going to talk about how James Dobson was suckered by the Republican party recently but this seemed more relevant. Oh, Dobson did nothing wrong, but I am bothered as to how the Republicans use Dobson to garner votes, and then James gets little return for his support.
